According to Salman: "freedom of speech ends where religion begins." Do other Muslims agree with this? If so, how can Islam shake of the accusation that it is intolerant and extreme?

Depend on the speech I guess. Todays freedom of speech is frequently abused. When my speech is pleasant in your ears, you will support it. Once I have the means to control the speech which is depriving you than you will scream: "Please somebody rein this maniac!". By than I will announce it in the public that you must be an idiot who is following false god who does not value my version freedom of speech, go to hell. Something like that. |

melco, i think actually it is the reverse. i think other countries and religions are intolerant and extreme on we muslims. Islam teaches love and peace. ------------- It is better to be alone than to be in bad company. |

i also want to say that intolerance and extremism are types of expressions, so they go under the category of freedom of expression. i made a statemant on freedom of speech. i did not make any statement on freedom of expression. ------------- It is better to be alone than to be in bad company. |

I think religion is freedom in itself. Religion merely guides and establishes a moral code, so that your "freedom of speech" doesn't hurt anyone feelings. For Example: I can say to a brother, you smell. I have full right to exercise my freedom of speech. However, in Islam, that would be slandering, and it is prohibited. ------------- Ma'Salama, Hamid |

This is an important question. What is freedom? The choise between 22
different types of tooth paste? And still - if Islam in any shape can
be introduced as "the" pan religion no. 1, it must leave some space for
freedom, not for me or other philosophers, but for the masses of people
of different races. Wheter freedom exists or not, the apprehention is
there.
------------- 1) Core on a A4 2) Perversion - a main enemy. 3) Media - included 4) Preservation 5) A pro-AI stance. 6) Freedom - included 7) Islam has proven strong against perversion. 8) Subjective + obje |

| Well, here I think, bro algo is considering 'freedom' as opposite of 'compulsion'. That may be true in its own rite, but is this the topic that relates to 'freedom of speech' under discussion? I don't think so. |

Religion goes against human freedoms when one group forces their belief onto others.. ------------- THere Is no god, BUT GOD and Adam was his First Messenger _____________________________ |

Freedom of speech is about innerself. If you are allowed to think and speak ideas without being punished then that's free speech. As soon as ANY control strolls in then it is gone. ------------- "The days followed one another patiently. Right back at the beginning of the multiverse they had tried all passing at the same time, and it hadn't worked." |

| Ah! Ha. Welcome back sis Ketchup! Nice to hear you around, though your 'free speach' may 'impeach' others, if not self controlled. Really, isn't a self controlled speech, yet a 'free speech' in a civilized society? |
